Yeah it was weird, the Slap yo Daddy guy (Harry Soo? I believe) was in the BBQ REstaurant scene, but was never in the rest of the show.
Those muffin chicken shapes are kinda un-appetizing to me. Looks so unnatural.
It seems impossible to really make good money at these competitions, given the travel expenses, time, effort, cost of meat, etc.
I guess it's more for the competition, bragging rights, and probably to help the prestige of their restaurants back home.
Okay, done with my random thoughts.
